Question

This flower adds insects and other small aquatic animals to its diet with the help of underwater suction traps. What is the name of this flower?

1) Venus Flytrap
2) Pitcher Plant
3) Sunflower
4) Rose

Answer 1

The flower using underwater suction traps to capture insects and aquatic animals is known as Utricularia or bladderwort, which is not one of the provided options.

Step-by-step explanation:

However, from the given options, Venus Flytrap and Pitcher Plant are both known to capture insects, but they do not utilize underwater suction traps. The Venus Flytrap captures insects when they touch the trigger hairs inside its leaf causing the trap to close, while the Pitcher Plant captures insects in a pool of water at the bottom of its pitcher-like structure where they are digested by bacteria. The flower that uses underwater suction traps to capture prey is known as Utricularia, or bladderwort, which is not one of the choices offered in the question.
